From September 1998 to September 1999, 14 patients underwent lobectomy and systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy. We appraised intraoperative two types of lymph nodes: the single digit number (1 through 9) - N2 and the double digit number (10 through 13) - N1. Mediastinal lymph nodes N2 were pathological positive in 4/14 patients and positive lobar nodes in 4/14 patients. In conclusion: systematic staging of mediastinal and lobar lymph nodes is necessary for all patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer

Mondor's disease is a benign, self-limited process with spontaneous resolution, which is frequently caused by breast surgery, such as axillary lymph node dissection. We present a case of Mondor's disease that occurred after an axillary osmidrosis operation, which is a less invasive procedure; Mondor's disease may be considered as a possible postoperative complication following an axillary osmidrosis surgery.

Background: Gastric cancer is a common disease in the world. For treatment, gastrectomy is still considered as the first choice. However, recovering of postoperative gastrointestinal circulation remains a controversial issue. Objectives: To assess the early results of 2 methods as gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I type) and gastrojejunostomy (Billroth type II) in recovering of gastrointestinal circulation. Subjects and method: A descriptive, retrospective study was conducted on 98 patients (61 males, 37 females, mean aged 48.1\xb112.7), were confirmed diagnosed with gastric cancer, treated in Military Central Hospital N.108 from May, 2001 to December, 2005. Results: Tumor positions were seen in 1/3 lower and 1/3 middle of gastric organ (59.2% and 40.8%, respective). There was no significant difference for invasive level of tumor between 2 groups (P>0.05). 62.2% patients with invasive level of tumor in stage of T4 in both 2 groups. Generally, the lesion between 2 forms of ulcer and rough differed significantly. The patients with and without metastatic lymph nodes were 57 and 41 patients, respective. All of patients were conducted with lymph node dissection at the stage of DIII-DIV. The difference between 2 groups for surgical time was no statistic significant. Conclusion: Billroth type I method combined with lymph nodes dissection was a safe and feasible technique in treatment of gastric cancer.

I showes the result of treatment of malignant diseases in digestive organs for last 20 years on our hospital.In Niigata prefecture, esophageal and gastric cancer cases are higher more than Japanese mean frequency of them.We have about 200 cases of gastric cancer every year. Out of them, operable cases have been decreased gradually, because of increase in cases done EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection).In operation method, total gastrectomy and pyloric resection cases decreased due to improve patient's QOL. Anticancer chemo-therapy into inoperable patients were done by new anticancer drugs, especially, combination therapy of TS-1 and paclitaxel is most effective compared of other drugs and combinations, that is, 13 months in mean survival time were performed.Number of cases of esophageal cancer has been increasing slowly, however, operable cases were not increasing, because of increasing of EMR. Presently, frequency of operation, EMR and chemotherapy with irradiation is almost similar.Number of cases in colon cancer has been increasing yearly, following colonofiberscopy (CF) with EMR or polypectomy (PP).Almost of advanced colon cancers were operable with laparostomy, however, before several years, laparoscopic colectomy (LAC) was performed, then, it reached to 40% among operable cases. By LAC, hospital period was shortened about a half of laparostomy.Number of cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been not increasing, so, cases of hepatic resection was stationary, because of TAE (transarterial embolization), RFA (radiofrequency ablation) and PEIT (percutaneus ethanol injection therapy) performed actively.Out of them, 5 year survival rate of lower biliary tract cancer patients were more higher than upper ones.Hereafter, based on above results, we have to make a effort to form a system of a cancer therapy, from prevention, diagnosis, and therapy to terminal care.
